What does your property number mean?

If you love everything mystique and hold true to superstitions (even if you do think they’re a bit silly…) you’ll love this article.

But even if you have no time for that nonsense, there’s definitely an upside to staying abreast of popular beliefs such as those found in numerology.

At the very least it could make an investment property that much more attractive for a prospective tenant. Who are we to argue with them if they believe that living at your rental property will bring them good fortune solely from it being number 7!

Like similar theories in numerology, to work out your property number add the digits of your property number until you get to a single figure. For example, if you live at 507 then you would add 5 + 0 + 7 to get 12, then you would add 1 + 2 to get 3. So 3 is your number. Simple!

Below is our guide to what the numbers mean.

1 = independence, a fresh start ALSO busy busy busy!

Number one promotes innovation, ingenuity, ambition, drive and leadership. This is a wonderful home to live in for the self-employed, especially if working from home, or if there are people living together who wish to maintain their autonomy and freedom. Living here can strengthen character, determination and self-confidence.

Challenges: A number 1 property can foster too much independence and minimize cooperation and harmony. Not ideal for singles or those who are prone to loneliness, as this home can have too much “self” energy and not as much partnering.

2 = intimacy, creativity, patience ALSO passive, indecisive

This home is sure to be a loving, cosy atmosphere, where others will always feel welcome, nurtured, and loved. The energy of 2 is sentimental and sensitive, so this is a lovely place for those who enjoy being surrounded by photographs of family and friends, and having people over for intimate gatherings, especially where feelings are expressed and affection is shared.

Challenges: Since 2 lends itself to strong feelings, sometimes people can feel overly sensitive here. They can feel overwhelmed with emotions and need to go outside or do more physical activities to get grounded.

3 = social, family-friendly, open (a lucky number in China but unlucky in the Middle East) ALSO loose, messy, chaos

3 is a fun, vivacious number, so this is a wonderful place to have lively social gatherings. It is a highly creative vibration. This is a wonderful home best suited for artists, singles, couples or families, or anyone who loves to live life to the fullest and express themselves with joy.

4 = safety, security, commitment ALSO inflexible, conservative

This is a solid, secure, protected environment. 4 is the most grounded vibration of all, and relates to the earth, real estate and physical structures. This would be a great place for investments, whether it is related to properties, stocks, finances, or even education.

Challenges: 4 is the slowest and most grounded of all the numbers, so if doesn’t promote adventure, variety, excitement, or innovation.

5 = gregarious, night owl, gypsies, forever young ALSO over the top, nomadic

The number 5 loves to party so there is never a dull moment. 5 is the most gregarious of all the numbers so this is a great place for people who love having people over and entertaining guests. There are always surprises with 5, so if you love excitement and adventure, you’ve found the right place.

So there you have it. A quick guide to what your property number means. Interestingly, in 2014 realesate.com.au did an analysis of the previous 12 months to see if there were any trends or patterns relating to the street number of sold properties around Australia. This is what they found –

• The number 3 was the highest selling street number for the period
• The next most sold street numbers were 4, 5, 6, 7 (and in that order!)
• Street numbers that recorded the highest number of top sales prices included 2, 3, 4, 7, 9

Take it or leave it, we won’t judge you either way.
